(h) No
Undisclosed Events or Circumstances.
Since
October 31, 2007, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect
to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties,
prospects, operations or financial condition, which, under applicable law,
rule
or regulation, requires, or will require, public disclosure or announcement
by
the Company but which has not yet been so publicly announced or
disclosed.
(i) Litigation.
There
is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute
resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary which questions the
validity of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
any
action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto. Except as set forth on Schedule
2.1(i)
hereto,
there is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute
resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against or involving the Company, any Subsidiary or any

judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or
governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any Subsidiary or any
officers or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary in their capacities
as
such, which individually, or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(j) Compliance
with Law.
The
business of the Company and the Subsidiaries has been and is presently being
conducted in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local
governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, except as set forth in
the
SEC Documents or such that, individually or in the aggregate, the noncompliance
therewith would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each of
its
Subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other
governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals necessary for the
conduct of its business as now being conducted by it unless the failure to
possess such franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental
or
regulatory authorizations and approvals, individually or in the aggregate,
could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(k) Taxes.
Except
as set forth on Schedule

hereto,

all
federal, state and other tax returns required by law to be filed by it, has

taxes and other charges to which the Company or any Subsidiary is subject and
which are not currently due and payable. None of the federal income tax returns
of the Company or any Subsidiary have been audited by the Internal Revenue
Service. The Company has no knowledge of any additional assessments, adjustments
or contingent tax liability (whether federal or state) of any nature whatsoever,
whether pending or threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary for any
period, nor of any basis for any such assessment, adjustment or contingency
that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(l) Material
Agreements.
Except
for that certain Service Agreement, dated as of October 15, 2007, between the
Company and Corporativo LODEMO S.A DE CV (the “LODEMO
Agreement”),
the
Company has filed with the SEC all written contracts, instruments, agreements,
commitments, or obligations entered into by the Company or any Subsidiary since
July 1, 2007. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has in all material
respects performed all the obligations required to be performed by them to
date
under all such agreements, have received no notice of default and, to the best
of the Company’s knowledge, are not in default under any such agreements now in
effect, the result of which could cause a Material Adverse Effect.

Company has complied and will comply with all applicable federal and state

Section
7.2 Specific
Enforcement; Consent to Jurisdiction.
(a) The
Company and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would
occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
It
is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement
and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being
in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law
or
equity.
(b) The
Company and each Purchaser (i) hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the United States District Court sitting in the Central District
of California and the courts of the State of California located in the City
of
Los Angeles for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out
of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii)
hereby waive, and agree not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court,
that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or
that
the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. The Company and each
Purchaser consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding
by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices
to
it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good
and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 7.2
shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law. The Company and the Purchasers hereby agree that the prevailing party
in
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Preferred
Shares or this Agreement shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable
legal
fees from the non-prevailing party.
Section

neither the Company nor any Purchaser make any representation, warranty,
covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters, and they supersede all
prior understandings and agreements with respect to said subject matter, all
of
which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended
other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the holders of
at
least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding Preferred Shares. No such
amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all
of
the holders of the Preferred Shares then outstanding. No consideration shall
be
offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification
of
any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also
offered to all of the parties to this Agreement or holders of Preferred Shares,
as the case may be.

The
provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court
of
competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions
or
part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part
of a
provision of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed
as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such
provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be
valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.
Section
7.13 Further
Assurances.
From
and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of the Purchasers or
the
Company, the Company and each Purchaser shall execute and deliver such

purposes of this Agreement.

Section
8.15 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.
The
obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint
with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken
by
any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers
as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or
as
a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. Each Purchaser confirms that it has independently participated
in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice
of
its own counsel and advisors. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights
arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other
Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose.
